rules built to bend & break
Inspired by the Pacific Rim 2020 supplement and designed to chip seamlessly into the Time of the Red and Edgerunners 2070s settings, Tokyo 2077 drags the neon-soaked heart of the Arasaka Corporation burning through the spotlight. Forget Night City’s lawless chaos, here the air itself feels heavy with rules. It’s not just corpo “peacekeeping” or insurance rates; it’s the weight of centuries-old traditions, now twisted into chains by Arasaka’s resurgence.
In the fifty years since the Fourth Corporate War, Arasaka’s been clawing its way back to power, not just in Night City, but in its ancestral home. Though, they’re not the only big dogs anymore. While the megacorp rebuilt its chromed-up empire, local rivals slithered into the gaps, bringing Tokyo into it’s own little Sengoku period.
Still, don’t sweat it, choom. Between the black markets of the Ishin Ward Wasteland, the National Diet’s bloodless (and bloody) politicking, and the Shimokita Discogangers pumping bass through bullet-riddled streets? There’s always eddies (or let’s say newyen) to run.
there’ll be a lot of retconning until i make an official pdf.
